Chapter 81

Lucas was insistent.

They were only going to be at the city estate for three days to do whatever the army needs to do when they stop in town. Load up on supplies, flirt with girls, I don't know I was never interested in the army, I'm too domesticated for that, so shoot me.

So that booger was intent on making the most of those three days.

When I opened my door the next morning, bleary-eyed from a bad night's sleep (for some reason I got more nightmares with Gus sleeping in the barracks with the other little trainees), he was there, waiting for m with a bouquet of roses in red, pink, and yellow.

He smiled, as though he hadn't just been waiting outside my door like the creep he was.

"Miss Strobelt," he said. "I promise I didn't wait out here. I asked the maids for your schedule and just so happened to be here."

I sniffed. "You read my mind."

His cheek twitched. I wondered if he was amused or insulted.
